Whatever the outreach program consists of, it isn't enough! 
Soooooo many owner operators have heard nothing about these
retrofits and replacement requirements.  I have basically
researched all the information that I have, and so many drivers
aren't sitting home looking for new regulations on the computer. 
Our local truckers are struggling with high fuel costs and rising
insurance in a horrible economy, so California could not have
picked a worse time or a more unfair requirement than the clean
diesel regulations.  If it was a phase out program where you could
not purchase old trucks anymore, that would force them to replace
their equipment eventually, but as long as they took care of it and
it ran well, it wouldn't need to be replaced.  Since you are
forcing people to spend money they don't have, for something they
don't want, then I think the state of California should pay for it.
